Nexus One gets an OTA Update to Gingerbread Part 2

  My Google Nexus One finally got the long anticipated Gingerbread OTA release. Google announced the release in a tweet on Feb 22, 2011 and has been rolling it out since. The update applies to the new Nexus S as well.
  This new release of android focuses mostly on changes under the hood. While the interface has minor cosmetic differences, the big changes are underneath. SIP support built-in to the OS, new power-consumption analysis, and groundwork for more diverse hardware platforms.
  User interface wise, it looks like a new software keyboard, better copy and paste, and text input in general. Especially if your device doesn't have a trackball.
